I am wondering Last summer I had this plant outside and I have a giant cotton wood tree I am hoping that this is seeds from the tree.
I have taken some pictures and wonder if you can tell if this is mealie bugs or nothing. I did read up on the pest control and wonder if any has used the Moth Ball
The first is what my hoya looks like the second will be the white fuzz







* Moth ball: As a preventative measure, moth balls (paradichlorobenzene) added to the potting mix seem to discourage infestation by root mealy bug, and probably discourages other insects. However, the chemicals in the moth balls can cause damage to plastic plant pots and are best used with clay pots.
